IS CALIFORNIA CREATING MANURE FARMS

THAT ALSO PRODUCE MILK?

A Zoom Talk by Kevin Fingerman of Cal Poly Humboldt: LINK BELOW

Monday November 7, 7pm

Animal agriculture is an increasingly important driver of climate change. One approach to abating methane pollution is the installation of biodigesters to manage the manure from feedlot operations, capturing methane for use as an energy source. However, policies in California that have promoted these systems seem to be backfiring. This presentation will investigate the contours of this emerging problem at the nexus of California climate policy, agriculture, and environmental justice and will discuss some potential approaches to addressing the issue.

Dr. Kevin Fingerman is an Associate Professor of Environmental Science & Management at Cal Poly Humboldt. He has consulted on these issues for California regulatory agencies, the European Commission, the Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, and the Union of Concerned Scientists.
